i have the full turbo kit for my eg with a d16 and i was gonna put it in this wekend and only run like 4-5pounds of boost because it is all stock internals but a lot of my friends are saying that even at 4-5 pounds i will probably blow the motor so i dont know what i want to do now i was just wondering what you guys think and if you have done this before and if any1 with a boosted single cam has blown the motor at 4-5 psi and how long it took. thanks

 

more details, read the forced induction fAQ

 

my buddy has been boosting his d16y8 on 11lbs for over 2 years now. It's all in the tuning. Get it done right and your motor will treat you right. Get it done wrong and BOOM.

 

psi without turbo size, doesn't mean anything more than farting in the wind

 

all about the tune

i downed a cyl on 5 psi on my d15b2

 

iv been running my b1 at 10psi for about two months and before 10, i ran 6 for a few months on my $60 motor with 150k on it

 

would it kill you to use a period? seriously, that must be the longest sentence ever written.

post details of your setup before you continue.

 

What turbo? And what will your setup be like? I ran 8 psi with my greddy kit on a stock bottom end. On a fmu.

 

it is a stock rx-7 turbo externally wasted gated. ebay specail icp with a knock off hks bov, and i have a fmu

 

fmu will work but it's not the best way.....something such as uberdata, crome, neptune etc all of those aren't too costly and will give you a nice tune good power and good gas milage

 

I just finished tuning my d16y8 tonite. At 10psi on a t3/t4 50trim .48a/r, 2.5" open downpipe, I made 255.12whp and 215.44lb-ft of torque. All stock internals except for arp headstuds.

Tune it well at it should be fine.

 

Hey welfarepic do u still have those parts?

Your friends sound like they have never run boost/and are idiots.
